RE: MONTHEND ROUTINES -- SYSTEM21

Two words - 7. Group Schedules
I have a Group Schedule defined for MEND (Month End)...  I can add 60 dates
to the schedule...  In our case the last Sunday of each month...  The
exception may be like this Saturday when we are doing our Fiscal
year-end...

 Seq.No.  Date
    10     93000
    20    102900
    30    112600
    40    123100
    50     12801
Etc...

You then change the daymask to all 0's and insert the Schedule group  MEND
on the Scheduled Entry...
Works like clockwork...

Are you using Machine Manager?  If so, are you setting up your full year's
schedule in advance and how.  I don't recall any capabilities other than
specific days of each week.

Does anyone else create invoices during the night?  We've been doing this
for 9 months now.  We had to make mods to JBA for that also.  Apparently
the
program writes some of the screen answers/parameters to OEP61 and the
program deletes these records after each run.  The effect was that invoices
would get created, but they wouldn't get posted.  We had to modify the
program to not delete these.

Subject: Re: MONTHEND ROUTINES

We had a strong desire to automate the IN and SA Month-End routines because
I had to stay up late each last-Sunday-of-the-month to run these Closes for
all ten of our plants...  As you should already know the IN Close is the
lynch pin to all of the closes...  and we need to make sure all ten of our
plants get closed on time and only closed once etc...
So since you cannot use the 3/INC standard task to schedule the IN close in
Machine Manager (no batch component to the task definition) we decided to
have one of our creative programmers write a routine that would perform the
close for us...  We only do IN and SA automatically...  We prefer to do the
A/R, A/P, CS and G/L closes manually...
This is an ugly situation and I wish JBA had written the Close so that it
could be automated...
While we do have a routine that we have written I would hesitate to share
the code with the list since it is somewhat specific to our company...
Good luck...

Does anybody currently run their monthend updates via System Manager Day
End
Routines
If so did you experience any problems.
We currently run IN, SA, AR & AP manually put are facing increasing
problems
with time scale and operational requirements.
Thanks in advance.
